You have Russell playing for your defense you will be fine

Don't worry billay that is the norm for this board. Mess up one play and your the worst thing in the world. Cassel actually had a very solid first half. Considering the guy has been out for what... three weeks?

He made a stupid decision. Not saying he should be benched or anything.

There is far too much Hermlike BS happening in this game.

Matt Cassel should be benched for that shit

Cassel's first half is a mixed bag some good some bad, but the bad is the play that stands out so that's what is remembered.

My observations so far:

Jamarcus Russell is really, really bad.
Oakland seems to hae a lot of talent on the D-line if they can develop them.
What's up with the short checkdowns to the left flat during the two-minute drill? That was unacceptable.
I love Bowe. Blocks, catches, runs, just a complete player.
Branden Albert is no Damion McIntosh.
Tank Tyler is playing good today.
Derrick Johnson has made more plays as a third-stringer than he ever made as a first-stringer.
If this team still had Tony Gonzalez, we'd be undefeated.

No. No, no, no, no, no. If a 27 year old QB needs this year to learn from his mistakes than it was not smart to trade for him. Cassel HAS to have higher expectations than that.

TG gets another TD

reerun Alert.

True.

But don't fool yourself, he has 75 yards passing and is completing just over half his throws.

Still, he's the present and the future and I have hope.

Gonzo went from totally football depressed to ****ing Hugh Hefner happy.

TG is tearing Panths up

it was a dumb play, but life goes on


come on, these guys are learning on the fly, and most of them are untalented to boot....focus on the positives

cassel has to run for his life on a gimp knee and throw passes to midget named savage and a guy they signed yesterday (wade)

it is frequently going to look like a circus

If the whole season is a mixed bag this year for Cassel thats a success. This offense is shit and they'll be playing behind alot with the shitty defense.

Yeah, but the Chiefs have a way of making QBs look better than they are.

Still, I don't know I've seen a QB performance that crappy at Arrowhead since Ryan Leaf made a visit in week three of his rookie season.

This is a good post.

Jason Whitlock for RT.

Cassel pretty much played like ass the 1st half. That said it's only one half of football.

He had happy feet even when he had decent protection
His accuracy was terrible
He played scared
His decision making was meh

Some of the n00bs here don't realize that Chokeland never gets beat by another team...they only beat themselves.

If not for Cassel we probably wouldn't have been in position to have that play at the end of the half.Croyle would have been sacked 3 more time by now and CAssel turned those plays into positive yards.

Say good bye to that 15 yards, round 2 is Air Time, and he just let fly like a mother****er.

I just need some wins o CBS doesn't axe their ass...............again.

If Brodie Croyle was playing we'd be winning Cassel sucks!

At least we still have Suck Up!!!

Well that should definitely make Keyshawn Johnson's "CMON MAN!" segment tonight.

The last play of the half reminds me of Gonzo catching the ball on the 7 yardline against NE at the end of the game that kept us from winning.

We will be ok. Haley coaching good.

Exactly what I was saying!/Herm

I'm with that if I wanted to see a year of mistakes and learning...I'd go with a rookie.

TD Sanchez to Keller. Three plays. Moving along.

I'm actually disappointed wth the first half.. That last play was just bad football.

Cassel looks decent to me though. Last year half those ""hurries"" would of been sacks FFs or anything else.

edit: nm you cant get sacked kneeling down.

108 rushing in the first half?

Thats cool.

LMAO

Russell is 3/13.

Good, if obvious, point by the announcers. If the TE doesn't force us to burn a time out we'd be up in spite of Cassel's brain fart.

we held oakland ot 27 yards rushing



[insert excuses]

I just got to watch the game in the last 10 mins. After watching the stats, I think we are not doing that bad. It's just the last few plays that depressed me.

Week 12, 2000?

And Here we go!

Of course JR should be thanked as well.

Very nice play. damn flag

Nice pass on the move...

Oakland kind of limited themselves to 27 yards by refusing to give it to McFadden.

Flag again?

Dear god this crew blows chicken balls.

Anyone remember when Trent Green did the same thing that Cassel just did in his 1st year as a Green.

Green threw short ... i think it was Kimble anders or something.

Oh good ****ing Christ.

Bobby Wade is money...

Frickin' O-Line...stay home!

GODDAMNIT!!!

Oh good. Because that's relevant to this game thread.

Cassel looks much better throwing on the run than he does in the pocket.

what's the Chiefs' time of possession vs the Raiders? (first half)

This X 1000!

I would bootleg the shit out of him.

That's threading the needle.

Wow people. I guess game day is no tome for jokes.
You sarcasm meters don't work today I guess.
I was joking about the benching people.
Jeez.

NICE pass!

Now THAT was a nice pass, Cassel.

Yes

Very nice pass.

Cassel was $ there.

Wow Cassel and Wade must've been like childhood friends or something.

Wade is ****ing money!

Wow, Wade.

I don't disagree with anything here.

My hope is that the end of the half was an abnormal blip on the radar as far as Cassel is concerned. He HAS to be a heady player who doesn't wilt in the most pressure-filled situations.

Last play aside, he's been a very pleasant surprise from my perspective.

nice pass to wade

Wade is Cassel's fav target. I think he feels he is the Chiefs Wes Welker.

Hey,Hey,Hey

a couple of good throws by Cassel to start the 2nd half. Strong throws :clap:

Wade looks like a good one.

Wadw is worth his weight in gold today.

I remember Trent Green doing a lot of stupid shit his first year,he turned out to be a pretty good QB for us.Hopefully Cassel will too.

Bobby Wade is our star player, what the ****kkk.

NIce run LJ

Wade is really money.

LJ too...

Good job LJ

Johnson punked Johnson.

C'mon Waters, you can't totally miss on a block against a corner. If he seals that, LJ gets 18 yards instead of 10.

most of us know that :)

RARRRR!!! LJ!

perfect

Check his ass out, I like this Larry
